removing over spray?

My friend just got his car back w/ the same problem on the windows. He used mineral spirits and a 000 steel wool pad. I have used in the past regular car wax and a 000 steel wool pad.

overspray

On glass or unpainted trim we use thinner very carefully not to get on paint.
Works fast and dose a great job. Key word " Carefully "

for the glass use a razer blade

when the painter F-ed up my car I called and talked to a overspray removal company and they said to use xylene solvent it worked good on the glass and trim.

Some good old Dupont 3812S, I keep it by the gallons.

If you use a razor blade, make shure its a brand new one, otherwise you can scratch the glass.

Razor or a polish on a buffer.

I use thinner (VERY carefully) or razor blade and water (new blade).

Good info. Thanks guys.

when I was working at a body shop when the cars came back with a little over spray on the windows we load up the window with windex or other window cleaner and scrub it with very high grit steel wool using the windex as a lubricant between the glass and the wool. came right off and did not appear to do any damage to the glass.

Not sure if it was the right way or the best way but it was very quick (less than a minute) and didnt appear to do any damage.

Not that that bad. Just pisses me off when I see it. Got some off the glass with clay bar, but takes to long to do. I don't think my camera will pick it up.

Forget all the solvents and claybars that are just overkill to a simple problem. Just a pad of 0000 steel wool (superfine) NOT the 000 that may scratch. Just a few passes over the glass and chrome and it's good as new, been doing that for years without a hitch. Solvents may get on paint, claybars are expensive and time consuming....STEEL WOOL 0000 will do the trick. Try it.:yes:
